We were echoing Noll’s case that the reason slavery proliferating for so long under a supposed biblical warrant was due to the lack of a decent exegetical case on behalf of the North.

If a wiccan told me I should stop beating my wife because I am hurting a daughter of Maia? Give me a break!

Slavery in North America was based on man-stealing, which was a capital offense.

We are all very good at rationalizing our sinning by our “superior” exegesis.

Sorry for the rant.

P.S. Vermont (where I live) qualifies statistically as an “unreached people” because of the low % of Evangelicals here. Interestingly, Vermont declared a state of hostility against the south before the U.S. In a broadly analogous way, perhaps the North took the role of Babylon in raining destruction on the South. (Not that I would identify our country with God’s chosen nation.)
